A driving masterclass from four-time DP World Tour winner Eugenio Chacarra 💣 @hcltech

"It wasn't the start that we wanted but I played good. I didn't hit a lot of good putts, I hit one three-putt, I hit a ball in the water, so overall a lot of things to work on for tomorrow. "It's not playing easy, the pins are tucked, the greens are pretty firm and obviously this morning was really cold. The first five holes the ball was going nowhere. I didn't have my best out there. "I love this place, I love this golf course, I love Korea. It wasn't what I wanted but it was just the first round. We get some rest, get my game sharp and we'll get back to it tomorrow and for the rest of this week. "I could've skipped this week but I like this course and with Rory and Patrick (Reed) not playing, I could get a few more points if I have a good week and all the help I can get ahead of those two, I'll take." The Race to Dubai leader Eugenio Chacarra talks through his opening round in Korea after shooting an over par round for the first time since Saturday of the Amgen Irish Open. #GenesisChampionship

"Today was good, I started going off pretty steady and ending up holing out for eagle at the sixth hole I think. I played steady. I didn't make many putts on the back nine which was kind of frustrating because I hit the ball really well. "It could've been a really really good round, golf's been pretty tough for me lately so it's been pretty nice to get a solid round in there. "It's been hard for me to be free swinging, it's been a bad stretch for me of bad golf. It's exhausting on both ends of it. But I came into this week thinking it's going to be last event of the year and I'll give it my all, let's see what happens." Hear from Ryggs Johnston after shooting his lowest opening round since February, who is currently 169th in the Race to Dubai Rankings, came into this week needing a top two finish to get his way into the top 100 and secure status on the DP World Tour for 2027. #GenesisChampionship

Casey Jarvis ball strikes on repeat 🔂 #GenesisChampionship

"It wasn't great today, I was struggling off the tee but I felt my iron game was decent, I just didn't create many chances. I lost a few shots when I hit errant tee shots. So I'm going to go to the range and grind a little bit. "I need a low one tomorrow, I know this course could play tough so I'm still in it. My mindset was to play simple golf and make as many chances as I could. "Unfortunately, that didn't happen today. If I can get a nice score tomorrow then get momentum the rest of the week, I think there's every chance to finish top five and keep my card., But that said, I need to start find the fairways and putt a little bit better." Jens Dantorp came into this week sitting 117th in the Race to Dubai Rankings and after today's opening round 74 (+3) is projected to move to 120th. He'll need a strong second round on Friday to make the weekend and finish in the top 100 on the Rankings to keep his card for 2027. #GenesisChampionship

"Some good, some average. But all-in-all, I had a lot of fun and hit a lot of good golf shots, it's always nice to finish with a birdie. "I would've liked to make a couple of birdies to be honest, but I just found the pins were quite tucked this morning, especially this morning, it was hard to get the ball close. I think the scoring reflects that! "Par is a good score any day of the week but I'm happy with how I went around my business. Like I said, it's really nice to finish with a birdie and it'll make my noodles taste better." Hear from Brandon Robinson Thompson after his level par opening round of 71 who came into this week sitting 109th in the Race to Dubai Rankings knowing that he needs to finish within the top 100 to keep full status for next season. Currently sitting T33 at the Genesis Championship, he's projected to move into 106th on the Rankings. #GenesisChampionship
